A watchdog organization recently reported that 16 deaths have been link to botox treatments. Others who have used the treatment have had negative reactions including a weakening of the muscles and difficulty swallowing. This organization is pushing for a warning about possible death on the label.

Botox is used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is also used as a preventative measure to help keep lines and wrinkles from forming.

While many looking to fight aging and appear more youthful are choosing the regular botox treatments. Woman who are concerned about the health risk of anti aging medical treatments and also for economical reasons are opting to make their own skin care products to help fight the appearance of aging. They often find recipes online in books or experiment with their own formulas.

Danielle Sims from http://www.faceliftrecipes.com an avid homemade skin care enthusiast and writer says “There are several natural ingredients that have been used in cosmetic wrinkle removing creams to give a tightening effect similar to botox, like Argireline. Surprisingly, the professional grade of Argireline is inexpensive and readily available to use in homemade recipes.”

Danielle goes on to say “When you make your own skin care, I have found them to be more powerful than some of the most expensive skin care creams, since you do not include harmful dyes, preservatives and fillers, just beneficial ingredients.”
